Members of the High Council of Revival Churches, including Pastor Albert Kankienza, Pascal Mukuna, Ejiba ya Mampia, Espé MBakadi and Kiziamina, recently expressed their solidarity with Pastor Godé Mpoyi. They ask the Head of State Félix Tshisekedi to get personally involved in this affair and the Constitutional Court to rehabilitate Godé Mpoyi as President of the Provincial Assembly of Kinshasa.
During their message of solidarity, the leaders of the revivalist churches strongly denounced the dismissal of Godé Mpoyi to the plenary assembly and demanded respect and consideration for men of God. According to Pastor Kankienza, it is unacceptable that one of their own was humiliated in this way, especially in this electoral period when candidates often go to churches to address the faithful.
It should be recalled that Godé Mpoyi was removed from the presidency of the Kinshasa Provincial Assembly on charges of mismanagement and abuse of power.
In this case, the members of the High Council of Revival Churches advocate the personal intervention of the Head of State and ask the Constitutional Court to review the decision to dismiss Godé Mpoyi. Their support underscores the importance that revivalist churches place on justice and the dignity of men of God.
It is essential to underline that this case attracts the attention of many observers, as it highlights the complex relationship between religion and politics in the Democratic Republic of the Congo. Religious leaders often have an influential role in Congolese society, and their solidarity with one of their own testifies to their desire to defend the rights and dignity of pastors and religious leaders.
In conclusion, the Godé Mpoyi affair and the solidarity expressed by the members of the High Council of Revival Churches highlight the issues associated with the relationship between religion and politics in the Democratic Republic of Congo. As the pastor awaits rehabilitation as president of the Kinshasa Provincial Assembly, it is important to continue to follow the evolution of this case and see how it positions itself in the Congolese political and religious landscape
